those just a few things that president obama put on the table today. you talk about the prebutt by reince priebus. we're getting reaction this afternoon, chris, from john klein, the chairman of the house education committee. he said he was interested in the president's ideas but also expressed concern that those ideas could ultimately wind up driving up the cost of college. now, all of this, chris, if you put this into a broader picture is part of the president teeing up the fall budget battles with republicans, the of course debt ceiling and, of course, the budget. when you talk about the budget you talk about education, college affordability, those will be some of the things they discuss. the president drawing the battle lines. in the past several weeks the president has made a number of other stops. he's talked about housing winding down fannie mae, freddie mac, investing in infrastructure projects. >> kristen welker, traveling in the bus, i love this coverage. it's great. thank you, kristen from nbc news. >> thanks, chris. >>> some good news to rep

i don't agree with president obama's views. if you're martha roby, i don't agree with president obama's views on virtually every issue. we are doing what we can -- fair part of her answer is okay, we're doing what we can on oversight. but i think what you do have to say is, look, it does us no good to go down these false premises. president obama has a different vision for the country. it may not be the vision that you share but he doesn't hate america. and, as ruth points out, the facts are the facts. he was born in the united states. so again, i just think it is this broader conversation, too, about simply the coarsening of discourse in this country, that you can't agree without being disagreeable. >> thanks to chris cillizza and ruth marcus. >>> speaking of disagreeableness of the conversation in the house, the senate is usually known for yesterday, majority leader harry reid let leaders know how he felt during a heated debate. >> madame president -- >> have him sit down and shut up. >> and you can add these scenes to your h

>> well, i think the obama administration has to be extremely disappointed. this has been a terrible day in cairo. the military authorities as steve suggested has miscalculated. they have a short-term plan to take protesters off the street but in the long term they'll deepen the divisions within egypt. the united states is not come police scitsicity -- come polic complicit. the united states has not wanted to consider curtailing or cutting off u.s. military or economic aid. they have to consider that. after today's event it's abundantly clear in the state of emergency that there is a dictatorship in place in egypt and they've profoundly miscalculated today. >> steve, what does this do to the conversation that's being had about whether or not the u.s. should pull its funding, roughly $1.3 billion of military aid to egypt? >> well, i just tweeted a short while ago, how can you not call this a coup? once that word coup is used. >> you have to pull the money. >> the president is under the obligation to pull the money. the problem with pulling that money, this is
